Respite

Crisis Respite Nursery

Our Crisis Respite Nursery gives stressed parents a break.

This free, 24/7 service is a safe, home-like place for children under 12 years old whose families need extra support during stressful situations. We provide an environment where children have the opportunity for positive interactions with adults, while parents can address critical family issues.

Please call 801-229-1181 to schedule an appointment for your child—you must call first to reserve a space in the nursery.

While our nursery has normal business hours (M-Th 9-9; F 9-5) for a respite—a break—it is also available 24/7 for crisis situations. Please call, day or night, for more information.

Adoption Respite

Respite services are available for families who have adopted at least one child and who currently coordinate with the Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS).

This Respite gives parents time to spend with each other or to work on personal/family issues while the children are safely cared for. Respite time is usually provided “in-home” which is especially helpful for children easily triggered by attachment or abandonment issues.

These services are available in Utah, Wasatch, Summit, Millard and Juab counties. On-site services are also available at our center in Orem.
